Following Sunday’s 22–18 road win over the Patriots, the Bengals encountered a frightening, unexpected interruption on their flight back to Cincinnati.
The team’s plane from Boston was reportedly re-routed due to a “failing engine,” according to Mark Slaughter of Cincinnati’s WLWT-NBC. The Athletic’s Paul Dehner later confirmed the incident resulted in the flight making an emergency landing at JFK International Airport in New York City to allow the team to switch planes.
“A little rough but it was okay! Landed safely,” said an unidentified passenger on the flight, per Slaughter.
